Chen Yan nodded and instructed Wanwan to serve fragrant tea.
"This guy! He really treats me like a handyman."
Wanwan snorted, her face showing resentment, but she obediently did as she was told.
"Thank you."
Iron Hand Ruthless accepted the teacup and thanked him.
Without beating around the bush, he took the initiative to state his purpose: he was there on behalf of the Six Doors to recruit Chen Yan.
"The God of Catchers and Hero Guo personally promised that once Master Chen joins the Six Doors, he will enjoy the same treatment as the Golden-Clad Constable."
After accumulating several merits, he can be appointed as the Chief Guest Elder of the Six Doors, a position equivalent to that of the God of Arrest, Guo Juxia.
Ruthless revealed the benefits of recruiting Chen Yan.
Wanwan gasped in astonishment.
He thought to himself that the conditions offered by the Six Doors to recruit Chen Yan were quite generous.
But based on her understanding of Chen Yan, she knew that Chen Yan would never agree to be recruited by the Six Doors.
really.
Chen Yan shook his head at this moment: "I'm sorry, constables, I'm used to a lazy life and don't want to be restrained. Let's forget about this recruitment."
Hearing that he was rejected.
Ruthless and Iron Hand were not unexpected.
On the way, they heard many rumors about Chen Yan and learned that Chen Yan, a reclusive master, was like a hermit and would not easily join any faction.
It would be best if Chen Yan could join the Six Doors, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't, as long as he doesn't join hostile forces like the Eastern Depot.
"Is there anything else, Ruthless Constable?"
Seeing that Chen Yan had rejected him, Tie Shou turned around, but Wu Qing seemed to be thinking about something, as if he had something else to say. Wan Wan asked curiously.
Iron Hand was taken aback, and his expression changed slightly!
"Is Ya Yu going to ask that question?!"
Tired of it? Said Qi turned around and stood up to account for ⑨⑷ ⑧ ⑶ 樲７⑧ 0澪
He had this concern before he came.
As it turns out, his fears were about to come true.
"I hope Ya Yu can withstand the blow of the truth."
Iron Hand gave Ruthless a deep look, his eyes filled with pity and shame, then he straightened his head and prepared to bear all the consequences.
He nodded indifferently.
He took out a silver ingot and placed it on the table.
Looking at Chen Yan, she said, "Yes, Master Chen, there is a mystery in my heart that I cannot solve, which makes me lose my appetite and sleep. I hope you can help me. Is that possible?"
"Of course, I'm in business, I have no reason to refuse customers."
Chen Yan nodded slightly.
Ah Huang wagged its tail and came over carrying the box containing the conditions for drawing prizes.
Wuqing knew the rules of Chen Yan's fortune-telling shop: in addition to paying ten taels of silver for each question, one must also draw a condition and complete it.
"I hope I don't draw any conditions that are too difficult."
Wuqing took a deep breath, reached his long, slender, fair right hand into the wooden box, and pulled out a slip of paper.
Iron Hand was also nervous. He knew that Ruthless appeared aloof on the surface, but was actually quite introverted. If he drew a difficult condition, Ruthless would definitely not be able to handle it.
"I wonder what condition this pretty girl drew?"
Wanwan, however, was filled with anticipation.
She's the type who loves a good show and thrives on chaos; the more outrageous the conditions she draws, the happier she becomes.
Wuqing concentrated and opened the note.
Tie Shou and Wan Wan quickly leaned over to watch.
After seeing the contents of the paper, he was taken aback and let out a soft, puzzled exclamation...
Chapter Fifty-Four: The Ruthlessness of Collapse!
"Why is there nothing written on the note?"
Wanwan was stunned to see the blank page on the unopened note.
Iron Hand was also slightly taken aback.
Even Wuqing looked at Chen Yan with a puzzled expression.
Chen Yan smiled and said, "If you draw a blank slip of paper, it means you don't need to fulfill any conditions, and you've passed this round."
Wuqing was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
Iron Hand breathed a sigh of relief, feeling overjoyed.
Only Wanwan pouted, looking very disappointed.
She just wants to see people die, to see people break down; it excites her. Typical little witch...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but stare at Chen Yan with a resentful look.
Chen Yan did not explain.
But in his heart, he thought that the reason he put blank slips of paper in the wooden box was to increase the number of customers.
If the difficult conditions inside the wooden box deter some customers who originally intended to have their fortunes told, then it would be a case of penny-wise and pound-foolish, and a loss that outweighs the gain.
Add blank strips of paper to the wooden box.
This will create a sense of complacency in people's minds, minimizing the likelihood that they will hesitate to visit the shop because they fear the conditions inside the wooden box might be too difficult.
"Miss Sheng, you may now ask your question."
Chen Yan looked at Wuqing.
Wuqing nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said, word by word, "I would like to ask Master Chen, why did those men in black chase after my father back then?"
And why did they exterminate my entire Sheng family?!
Hear the question.
Iron Hand felt a tremor in his heart, his expression complex, a mixture of pity, grief, and relief.
Wanwan was slightly taken aback.
She never imagined that the girl in front of her, sitting in a wheelchair and as aloof as a snow lotus, had such a tragic past, with her entire family being murdered.
Chen Yan gave Wuqing a deep look.
"Are you trying to avenge your parents and family?"
"Of course! As the only bloodline of the Sheng family, how could I not seek revenge after such a tragedy?"
Chen Yan lightly tapped his left palm with his right folding fan and smiled slightly: "Alright, then I'll tell you now why those men in black were chasing after your father and wiping out your entire Sheng family."
Wuqing focused intently, listening carefully to every word Chen Yan uttered.
Chen Yan: "Twelve years ago, Prime Minister Cai wreaked havoc on the court and committed all sorts of evil deeds. After discussing the matter, eight loyal ministers in the court prepared to jointly submit a memorial to His Majesty, reporting Prime Minister Cai's various crimes."
Unexpectedly.
The news leaked before their joint complaint was even submitted.
Of the eight court officials who jointly submitted the petition, seven of them were wiped out overnight by Cai Xiang's henchmen!
Only one court official who had jointly submitted the petition survived and escaped the capital.
The surviving court official is your father, Sheng Dingtian!
Do you know what this means?
Chen Yan lightly waved his folding fan, glancing meaningfully at Wuqing.
He was lost in thought, his brow furrowed.
A moment later, his expression changed drastically!
She looked at Chen Yan with a shocked and incredulous expression: "You, you mean, the person who leaked the information about the eight people who jointly submitted the petition is my father, Sheng Dingtian?!"
He is... he is the traitor among the eight?
Was it because of his betrayal that the other seven adults suffered the calamity of having their entire families wiped out?!
Having said this.
Wuqing's body swayed slightly, on the verge of collapse.
Over the years, she has been searching for the real culprit and the reason for the massacre of the Sheng family.
But I never expected it to end like this?
My father is a traitor, a lackey?
